MORRISON AND RANDALL
To Lock Horns on Tariff Measures In tho
--7T' |fts.aT House, 3.st e.. g4 d. +.

q
WASHINGTON, D. O., Feb. Son Mon
day it is proposed to introduce the subject
of the tariff into the house. Just what
mode Of procedure will be adopted is not
given out. but it is understood that com
promise ia on foot to lot in the Morrison
bill and make square fight between that
measure and new Randall bill, The sew
eral conterencea and letters and proposi-
tio8s and counter propositions that have
been the order Of the day during the past
month have resulted in nothing hut This
resolution OF free fight. The method Of
procedure proposed by Mr.. Raudall's
friends Is to get the House to 90 into Com
mittee OF the Whole to conaider revenue
measures, and, passing over tho Morrison
Dill, and the first Of this class OF measures
on the calendar, PROCEED to take up the
Randall bill, which stands on the calendar
with negative report. This programme
lspunctuated with parliamentary Obstacles.
First there Ia the uncertainty OF obtaining
majority Tor the motion to 20 into COM
mittee. n . '..'r1'-n5
But should that motion prevail Mr..
Morrison would not permit his bill to bo
set sside without struggle. Assuming
that this would be done and that the Ran
dali bill should be taken up, that MEASURE
would have to be considered by para
graphs and acted upon in dateil before it
would be competent to offer the confer
ence bill as substitute. Debate and on.
portunity are unlimited in Committee OF
the Whole. So long rs amendmenta aro
presented to pending paragraph, debate
is permissible, and the succeeding para.
graph cannot be read until that under
discussion is disposed of. The House
may limit or cut Of debate on pending
paragraph or eectinn of measure, but
cannot cut of the right to offer proper
amendments. In this manner the oppo.
nents OF any change in the revenue laws
could wear out the majority and defeat
action. ;.z W. r.. iaif-
The Morrison people are not fully COM
mitted to the scheme OF taking up the
subject to please those who refused TO
permit it to come up earlier in the session.
1t is likely that movement that way
would compel them, however. The at
tempt to got the whole thing before the
House will probably be successful. II
tho Randall bill cannot be brought for
ward the proposition to abolish the tax
on tobacco will be pushed in the hope of
securing that much by decisive vote
against the tariff reiormers. 1t ia not pre-
tended that satisfactory measure can bs
got through this session. The House has
nearly finished the appropriation bills and
wants TO have some excitement. Es.yI.
